Member Function Documentation

getSrcResources()

static String org.corpus_tools.pepper.testFramework.PepperTestUtil.getSrcResources ( )

static

Returns a default test folder, where to find resources for tests.

When using the default maven structure, this folder is located at 'src/test/resources/'.

Returns

a folder where to find test resources

getTempPath_static()

static File org.corpus_tools.pepper.testFramework.PepperTestUtil.getTempPath_static ( String  testDirectory )

static

Returns a File object pointing to a temporary path, where the caller can store temporary files.

The temporary path is located in the temporary directory provided by the underlying os. The resulting directory is located in TEMP_PATH_BY_OS/{@value #TMP_TEST_DIR}/ testDirectory.

Parameters

testDirectory

last part of the temporary path

Returns

a file object locating to a temporary folder, where files can be stored temporarily

getTestResources()

static String org.corpus_tools.pepper.testFramework.PepperTestUtil.getTestResources ( )

static

Returns a default test folder, where to find resources for tests.

When using the default maven structure, this folder is located at 'src/test/resources/'.

Returns

a folder where to find test resources

prepareFixturesAndCreateJob()

static PepperJob org.corpus_tools.pepper.testFramework.PepperTestUtil.prepareFixturesAndCreateJob ( final Pepper  pepper, final Collection<? extends PepperModule >  fixtures  )

static

set the salt project for all modules, if it is already set, check that it is equal in all modules. Extract all importers, manipulators and exporters

Create and add alibi steps

runPepperForTest()

static< T extends PepperModule > void org.corpus_tools.pepper.testFramework.PepperTestUtil.runPepperForTest ( T...  fixtures )

static

#start(Collection)

start() [1/2]

static void org.corpus_tools.pepper.testFramework.PepperTestUtil.start ( final Collection<? extends PepperModule >  fixtures )

static

This methods starts the processing of Pepper in the development environment for a set of Pepper modules.

This enables the test of multiple modules at once, for instance the import and export of data to check no data is lost. In case of the fixture is PepperImporter, first the method PepperImporter#importCorpusStructure(SCorpusGraph) is called. For all kinds of fixture, the method PepperModule#start(org.corpus_tools.salt.graph.Identifier) is called for each SDocument object contained in the variable PepperModule#getSaltProject(). This method will wait, until each ModuleControllerImpl return having finished the process.
To create a test using this method do the following:

• Create CorpusDefinition and add it to this object and set its FormatDefinition and corpus path

• Create a SCorpusGraph object as the one to be filled and add it with

  getFixture().getSaltProject().getCorpusGraphs().add(importedCorpusGraph);
  getFixture().importCorpusStructure(importedCorpusGraph);
  

Parameters

fixtures

the fixture modules

start() [2/2]

static void org.corpus_tools.pepper.testFramework.PepperTestUtil.start ( final Pepper  pepper, final Collection<? extends PepperModule >  fixtures  )

Parameters

pepper

a pepper instance to be used
